cargo\-init \- Create a new Cargo package in an existing directory
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBcargo init [\fIOPTIONS\fP] [\fIPATH\fP]\fP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
This command will create a new Cargo manifest in the current directory. Give a
path as an argument to create in the given directory.
.sp
If there are typically\-named Rust source files already in the directory, those
will be used. If not, then a sample \fBsrc/main.rs\fP file will be created, or
\fBsrc/lib.rs\fP if \fB\-\-lib\fP is passed.
.sp
If the directory is not already in a VCS repository, then a new repository
is created (see \fB\-\-vcs\fP below).
.sp
The "authors" field in the manifest is determined from the environment or
configuration settings. A name is required and is determined from (first match
wins):

a new directory.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.SS "Init Options"
.sp
\fB\-\-bin\fP
.RS 4
Create a package with a binary target (\fBsrc/main.rs\fP).
This is the default behavior.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-\-lib\fP

Create a package with a library target (\fBsrc/lib.rs\fP).
.RE

\fB\-\-vcs\fP \fIVCS\fP
.RS 4
Initialize a new VCS repository for the given version control system (git,

If not specified, the default registry defined by the \fBregistry.default\fP
config key is used. If the default registry is not set and \fB\-\-registry\fP is not
used, the \fBpublish\fP field will not be set which means that publishing will not
be restricted.
